The merger of WWE and UFC under the TKO Group has opened the door for exciting possibilities! Since the merger, there’s been a growing trend of talent exchange between the two combat sports giants.

Recently, veteran WWE wrestler Randy Orton attended a UFC Fight Night event in St. Louis, Missouri. This is just one example of the increased interaction between the two companies.

During a press conference after the event, UFC president Dana White revealed some interesting news. He acknowledged that many UFC fighters have long dreamt of participating in a WWE match.

More importantly, White expressed his openness to allowing UFC fighters to appear in WWE events! This is a significant shift, as White previously had a strained relationship with former WWE CEO Vince McMahon.

With Dana White now on board, the potential for WWE and UFC crossovers has become very real.

Another indicator of this growing collaboration? WWE’s NXT brand is holding a special show called NXT Battleground at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

While we wait for the right opportunity for “dream showdowns” to happen, the increased interaction and White’s openness are positive signs for fans who crave a true WWE-UFC crossover.
